[PATCH v2 09/18] KVM: arm64: Add reclaim interface for the pKVM heap alloc

Introduce a host interface to reclaim donated memory from the pKVM heap
allocator back to the host.

It specifically provides two helpers that will make it easier to
create a shrinker for pKVM:

  pkvm_hyp_reclaimable()
  pkvm_hyp_relaim()
